I fully binged on Orange Is the New Black once I finally got around to watching it—I mean, like five episodes in a row, five nights in a row—so I'd obviously be a huge liar if I said I wasn't looking forward to the premiere of season two tomorrow night. And here's the perfect healthy smoothie to drink while watching—courtesy of Harley Pasternak, trainer to stars such as Katy Perry, Megan Fox, and Rihanna.

"At that point, I started working exercise into the equation." The same thing was true when she was off her feet due to her DWTS injuries: "I was injured all this last year. My feet were not healing and I wasn’t able to do much. But I maintained my shape with healthy eating." Now, Maria is bringing awareness to the link between healthy eating and self-esteem with a new PSA for avocados from Mexico. "There are so many things that contribute to self-esteem," she says.

It takes more than major cojones to pull off the revealing getups Lady Gaga wears. It takes Harley Pasternak, the in-demand trainer who helped transform Stefani Germanotta's every-girl body into fiercely fit superstar form.

Start with 30 minutes of cardio two days a week, then do the following circuit on three days. It takes only 25 minutes (Gaga's got things to do, and so do you!), and you'll see results in just a month. read more
